Thailand cannabis bill could be up in smoke
Lawmakers are divided with some arguing the bill wouldn’t prevent recreational use of cannabis and demanding the plant be listed as a narcotic again
As PM Prayuth Chan-ocha plans to dissolve parliament next month before polls slated for May, the fate of the bill will depend on the next government
Growing concerns about the impact of legalisation on youths have also threatened to set back an industry that is estimated to be worth over US$1 billion by 2025.
The cannabis liberalisation has divided Thailand’s political parties as Bhumjaithai Party, headed by Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, is seen as a major beneficiary after it spearheaded the plant’s wider use and cultivation by households.
Many of the opposition parties and Democrat Party, a member of the ruling coalition, want to roll back the decriminalisation.
